LabView BUG: Created EXE too small

I see often (5 / 20 ?) the BUG, after creating a LV Application over Application Builder.

The application EXE is created, but is very small.

No error occured while creation of the exe.

 

LabView: 2014 (2014.0f1  32bit)

Application (EXE) size: is 80kb,   should be ~ 30MB

 

The screenshot of the crash on the target machine: (see attached)

Eugen,

 

why is the EXE 30MB at all? This seems really HUGE for an EXE.

 

Nevertheless, i am not aware of such an issue yet. Does it happen in a specific project or is this more a general issue (read: affects multiple projects)?

Do you reset (read: delete/remove all files in) the target build directory?

Yes, it is a BIG project:

* Main GUI

* Several Subpanels (injecting Sub-Panels into pain panel)

* Driver Manger

* Drivers (DAQmx, CAN, Powersupply, DMM ...)

* Service Panels (for manual stepping)

* Database Tools

* Test-Classes (main with childs) for testing several products

* ...

 

 

No, I do not delete all files from target dir.

Eugen,

 

and what happens if you do delete the files?

Please note that you have to take care of support files (e.g. error-txt) as well....
